Floor plan of Fort Sumter at Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park in South Carolina. The footprint is shaped like a baseball home plate with rounded edges and a shallow point facing down. Twelve areas are labeled with white numbers in black circles.

Extended Description

Numbers 1 and 2 are on the Left Flank, which is the straight, right edge in this view. An arrow points inward through a doorway in that wall, and number 3 is in the room immediately below that entry chamber. Following the numbering system, number 4 is near the top right corner, 5 is near the Powder Magazine, and 6 is next to a walkway, all in the same area. Text near number 6 reads “Use stairs to restrooms and museum.” Number 7 is the open space on the right half of the fort next to a structure called Battery Huger. Number 8 is on the angled side at the bottom right, the Left Face, and number 9 is to the left, on the Right Face. Numbers 10 and 11 are across each other from inside the top left corner, where there is a symbol of a cannon. Finally, number 12 is in the Gorge, which stretches along the top of the map.

Reaching down the center of the fort and to the left of Battery Huger is a Museum, restrooms, United States Flag (50 stars), and a walkway leading to the Right Face (on the bottom left of this map). The open space on the right half is shaded light green and the space in the left half is a slightly darker shade.
